I found and corrected a dangerously-high level of ammonia in my fish hospital tank and this, together with the task of collecting Debbie and taking her horse-riding, delayed my history project. Stephen Field also came to make the Ohgon’s second injection. The Soviet Union office to mediate between Britain and Iran and recent aircraft accidents prompt US aircraft companies to call for a massive programme of repairs and modifications to older planes
I had left my electric blanket on last night and woke up a bit warmer than I’d intended. I then showered, dressed and was down to breakfast and then to my conservatory to sort out my plants and fish.

By mid-morning, I had received two phone calls on casework and a visit from Percy Meyer. This left me only a couple of hours before lunch to start on the scanning and editing of illustrations for my book which took much longer than I expected and wiped out time after lunch as well. I then had to break off to go and fetch Debbie and take her to the riding school for a lesson. When I got back, the tea was ready and Steve Field of Avenue fisheries came to inject the Ohgon for a second time. He got a bit of a bang in the transfer in this process always seems to make his wounds look worse for a while. I used what was left of this evening to finish my diagrams ready for resuming the writing tomorrow. Then rather tired and early to bed. The news is still full of the ‘satanic verses’ row. The Soviet Unions Eduard Shevardnadze see met the Ayatollah over the weekend and is offered to mediate just as all diplomatic relations between Britain and Iran were cut off. Following all of the recent aircraft incidents, the leading US aircraft companies have called for a massive programme of repairs and modifications to the airlines older aeroplanes involving up to 1000 of them, some of which will require as many as 200 repairs and modifications.
